Mmmm.. Nice pizza.

Good to meet some more of you guys too - although I never even got to talk to Sally... I think she went all shy on me...

Good to finally meet you Chris (Nudemetalz) and James (Steam).

And yeah Lissa - that digger was pretty cool - made my young fellers day. We'll have to bring more of our kids next time. The two we had were just too damn quiet and well behaved...

Yea big thanks to Sallo, and great to meet folks.

I also received the famed Colapop hug, so I am no longer a Colahug virgin.

Looking forward to the next one already.

**Hawkeye** · 30th May 2007, 17:51

Good to catch up with a few folks I haven't seen for a while. Those kids were far too quiet. Next time I'll bring a couple of obnoxious teenagers along. Thanks to Sallo for organising.

**Lissa** · 30th May 2007, 17:51

Yea Bre and Nick left it way to late to start running around and misbehaving... (Shes still asleep from when we got home at 3pm).

Anyone take any pictures? Didnt get to meet everyone, and not sure which ones you were.

I think everyone at lunch today can now say they have been Cola'ed.

I was very quiet and well behaved today... the Orklandish ones didn't get the treatment... I saw you NhUANH (FatJim's litle friend) ... and PAtuRoa (the noTmAOri) and thought it best not to let you be too scared...

Yes indeed twas a great bunch of peeps there today...

Skunk Control (no hug though!! I'll get one back for that)

Te MP BJ... (He got away too!!)

And I'm not sure who else was there it became a blur after that...

BUT there was no Scamp and no Judecatmad or her hubby... and no Apty...haasty (Fiona)

We could have just about filled that place up. I give today two thumbs up! One for the peeps turning up.... and one for pre-ordering.... made a huge difference... as said already not long enough to have a real set to, but great to catch the ones that I did... (long arms..)

Thanks Sallo for making us get together.

Bugger that I had to go so soon; missed meeting most of you. Fark, I didn't even see Nudes there!

And I forgot to hand out invites to my party this weekend.

LOL. Nicky's just had storytime and been given his goodnights - he didn't sleep at all (he's on the Chopper Reid children's daytime regime) - and he's currently lying in bed in his room off the lounge singing to himself as I type this on the lounge laptop.

I've got to say - that pre-ordering idea was FANTASTIC. Such a pleasure to get to a restaurant and have lunch coming out within 10 minutes of arriving. And I'm sure One Red Dog was rapt too.

Well done Sallo for organising this one.

Sorry Skunk, I was monopolising him.

**merv** · 30th May 2007, 19:52

Yeah enjoyed that and sure Sallo did a perfect job organising things and getting us to pre-order because if you go casually to One Red Dog it can be a bit slow at times.

I got to see eye to eye with Colapop as he whisked me off my feet for a hug. I sense he has a phobia against big men - perhaps he wished he was the right size like me - coz in that list he says he only shook the hands of big guys Fatjim and Hitcher.

Great to see (and kiss and hug) you KB chicks too - hey your fellahs aren't the jealous types are they?

The kids certainly were cool too, if they weren't mentioned you'd hardly know they were there, except Nicky kept putting his foot on my knee under the table - hope he's not getting the wrong idea too early. Banana looked like she was ready to party towards the end too, kicking off her boots and getting down to it.

Geez I was back at my office before 1.30pm and I thought I'd need a 2 hour lunch. See you all again next time.

As you always are my friend..........I see though that some people missed out on the "hugginess" that is you, nice touch with the tummy tickle for the littlies an the "handshook" thang for the biggies, but what is with the ones that escaped your attentions..........LOL.......big scaredy cats I say

Sounds like you guys had a great time today........maybe one day your lunchtime get togethers will match a trip to the Wellytown for us
